The RattIesnake,s Awful Eve

Never seeing snake charm a bird
or animal | concluded it was a negro
superstition or fancy, devoid of fact.
So continued to think till few days
ago, when farmer friend of mine
living four miles south of Abilene told
me what he had lately witnessed. He
said he was riding along on a prairie
and saw a prairie dog within few
feet OF him which refused to scamper
to his hole, as prairie dogs usually do
when approached by man. On the
contrary, he sat as if transfxed to the
spot, though making constant nerv-
Gus, shuddering motion, as if anxious
to get away. My friend thought this
was strange, and while consider
ing the spectacle he presently saw
a large rattlesnake coiled up under
some bushes, his head uplifted, about
six or seven feet from the dog, which
still needed him not, but looked stead
lily upon the snake. He dismounted,
took the dog by the head and thrust
him off, when the snake, which had
ND to that moment remained quiet,
Immediately swelled with rage and
began sounding his rattles. The prai'
rie dog for some time seemed be.
numbed, hardly capable of motion
but grew better and finally got into his
hole. My friend then killed the rat
tier. Now, was this a case Of charm.

catch their eye, that they become
helpless and motionless, almost as
good as dead. What say the scien-
lists?
And to one who is familiar with the
eyes of rattlesnakes it does not seem
unreasonable that they should have
such power. If you will examing the
eyes of one when he is cold in death,
you will perceive that it has an ex-
tremely malignant and terrible express
sion. When he is alive and excited
| know OF nothing in all nature of so
dreadful appearance as the eye of the
rattlesnake. 1t is enough to strike not
only birds and little animals, but men
with nightmare. l have on several
occasions examined them closely with
strong glasses, and feel with all force
what l state, and l will tell you that
there are few men on the face of the
earth who can look upon an enraged
rattlesnake through a good glass
bringing him apparently within foot
or two of the eye-and stand it more
than a moment.-[ Forest and Stream.
